Wozniacki cruises into China Open third round

BEIJING, China – Defending champion Caroline Wozniacki won the last seven games to cruise past Christina McHale in the second round of the China Open, 6-4, 6-0. 

Facing the American for the first time in over three years, Wozniacki needed 84 minutes to book a spot opposite Czech Katerina Siniakova in the last 16 of the Premier Mandatory event. 

After winning five of the first seven games, Wozniacki was pegged back on serve by the World No.90, who converted on her fourth break point of the opener as the Dane served for the set in the ninth game.

However, that proved to be the last game the American would win in the match, as she surrendered serve to love to lose the first set, and ultimately lost to the former World No.1 for the fourth straight time, dating back to a three-set victory on the lawns of the Nature Valley International in Eastbourne in 2012.

Looking to reach the quarterfinals of the China Open for the fifth time, Wozniacki will take a 3-1 head-to-head lead into her third round clash with Siniakova, who surrendered just three games to beat Jelena Ostapenko on Monday.
